Sorry for all you non sports fans but the Olympics has been such a great source of inspiration to help us manage our own thought processes and confidence levels.
Take the GB cox-less four man rowing team. This team actually went on to win Gold in Rio.
However, they were still a bag of nerves and anxiety beforehand. So much so that team member Constantine Louloudis admitted that he was quite envious of the ducks swimming about, seemingly without a care in the world while he had to deal with the pressure and expectations of the event after four years of training. He actually said at one point he wished he was a duck.
This is a great lesson for all of us who suffer from confidence issues, even Olympic Champions get anxious and nervous. We are all as human as each other.
